Woolston Village revamp makes steady progress
Eels and whitebait will be wriggling across Woolston Village, etched into new pavers to illustrate the cultural significance of the area.
The sandblasted pavers are integral to a multimillion-dollar upgrade for the community village.
The tuna (eel) and īnaka (whitebait) pavers will sit at intersections where the side streets run towards the Heathcote River.
Tuna and īnaka live in the Heathcote River, which is also home to īnaka spawning sites.
Several bluestone pavers will also represent Woolston’s heritage, acknowledging those buildings lost during the 2010-2011 earthquakes.
Christchurch City Council’s Ferry Road Suburban Master Plan aims to revitalise the village while retaining the industrial character of the 150-year-old area.
The project – led by contractor Citycare – runs along Ferry Rd from Portman St to St Anne’s School. It includes decorative pavers, mini plazas, wider paths and cycle lanes, and more trees and plants.
Contractors have also relined the underground wastewater pipes along the main road, using the less disruptive spiral lining method, rather than having to dig a big trench to replace the pipes. All the wastewater work is now complete.
Work at the site will shut down for four weeks from early December until early January.
